Always grateful to been born an Aussie.
My simple life hasn’t changed, both casual jobs are essential, and I spending most of my time at home.
My housemate is a full time essential worker who spends a fair amount of time at home.
Our pets are our kids and are used to having us around.
My mum died July last year, my dad 19 yrs ago just after 9/11. I miss them dearly. I think about how frighten they would be if still alive at 88 & 92.
All this extra money the govt has handed out, I’d be “entitled” to as I “could” get benefits. None for me.
When I was made redundant a couple of years ago I chose to financially struggle on and not add stresses of govt “help” of reporting and applying for hundreds of jobs. (Over 300 jobs applied for a won two, I work between 9 & 20 hrs a week, and average third of my previous average wage.)
In the midst of renovation so we had lots of tradies still working, traipsing in and out, helping the economy. (Renovations are funded by the money my parents didn’t need as they never went into age care.) Yes I’be been privileged with loving families. (Adoptive, birth and friends). I’d be indebted to the hilt and work 100 hrs a week to have them healthily back.
Planned a caravan holiday for all of June, currently postponed
Basically Covid-19 has had no impact on my life.
Except missing my one regular visitor, my best mate of about 35 yrs.
And one late night phone call from another close friend hospitalised with Covid-19 who was told he was on the edge of death, he survived and doesn’t remember that call.
